Desmond and That Banner of Love.

:)

You are beautiful, wonderful,
beyond the reaches of my mind.

You are great and awesome
beyond the depths of my understanding.

The thought of You delights me.
And so my heart says,

"Behold, my Beloved is mine!
And I am His!"

Your banner over me is Love.

(:

Wonderful, Beautiful, Glorious, Matchless in Everyway.

Desmond and The Happy Ending.

**** Spoiler for 'Enchanted' Alert *****

I watched Enchanted yesterday with some of the youths.

I've gotta say, during the first few animated scenes, I clasped my hands over my face, and thought to myself, "My word. A cartoon. What am I doing here?"

And a few scenes later, this thought struck me. "HEY! I used to like cartoons."

(Anyone rmbs the times I would blog about justice league? and x-men evolution? For crying out loud, my blog template is the stinking batmobile! oh man. And i'm wearing a mickey mouse shirt now! hahaha... )

Thing is, by the end of the movie, I knew for SURE, I'm a chick flick, happy-(predictable)-ending kinda guy. Sure I like my fair share of the emo-drama-days-of-our-lives thing. But there's something about a disney movie that reverts you to a state of 'almost-delusion'.

A state of regained hope in cartoons.
A state where, Princes marry Princesses they've only met for a day.
A state of child-like faith, if you must, in things that this world tries it's hardest to downplay.

(So the ending wasn't all that edifying... as jon and i were saying. but still......)

Happy endings make me happy. (Hence the 'Happy' in the phrase.)

And if anything, I know I have one with God.
:) Thank You for loving me.

Desmond and That Amazing Love.

My hope (must) always stand...
For You hold me in Your hands.

(:

It's desperation that brings me to my knees.
For the Only One that leaves me heart longing and satisfied at the same time.

Master, Be my Savior, be my Shelter, be my God.

You deliver me from my darkest chains, and the things that hold me back in fear.

He works in ways we cannot see, He will make a way for me.

And so I'll wait in brokeness, and in my weakness, for Your strength. Your joy, and Your freedom.

I couldn't love You more than You could ever love me.

Unending, Unfailing, Enduring, Faithful, Fierce and Unwavering...

I cannot think of any more words. But I don't need to.

Your Love Speaks For Itself.

Love that's stronger, Love that covers sin, and takes the weight of the world.

Take my life, for Your glory Lord. Cos I can't do anything more with it. Take over Lord, I've reached the point where my own strength couldn't take me any further.

Jesus, I surrender.
